Herbal Treatment For Healthy Soup

Modern medicine banks heavily on names of diseases and brands of medicines. In reality diagnosing the disease in its totality is difficult. It often affects more than one organ. The obsession of naming it has forced us to focus only on part of the problem. Most of the times we need to go to separate specialists to deal with parts of the same disease. It is therefore, prudent to consider the disease as a whole and treat it as such. Herbal treatment often aims for this target. The first aim of healthy living is to eat and live healthy. Second we should focus on preventing disease. And, lastly if we do get ill, we should try for a whole body cure.Fortunately there is a remedy for all the three stages. Let's call it 'The Health Soup'. 'The Health Soup' is made from ordinary vegetables as follows.Collect the following vegetables.500 gm Radish250 gm Raddish leaves. Yes ! I mean that. Radish leaves. They have a function of their own, different than that of the radish.250 gm Carrots250 gm Burdock Root5 Dried Shiitake (Mushrooms)Do not peel or grate. Wash thoroughly. Cut them in small pieces. Put them in a large stainless steel pan. Add about 5 liters of water. Boil it. Lower heat to simmer. Simmer for two hours. Yes, you got it right, 2 hours. Cool. Strain. Store in a refrigerator. Start with one cup daily. After few days, if all goes well, increase to two cups a day.Result ! Considerable improvement in overall health.Note 1. Use stainless steel or glass containers only, to avoid metal poisoning. Aluminum pots must not be used.Note 2. Most of us are not really healthy. All of us are suffering from some sort of malaise. Even if we cannot put our finger on it. This soup will affect each person differently. Some temporary unwanted reactions are possible. Consider them to be reactions of the body to throw out the toxins. For example, the following symptoms may manifest at the start of the treatment.Itchy skin, Eczema, Mild DiarrheaSome rules of thumb to keep in mind when dealing with the reactions.If you are not sick, no reactions.If you are mildly sick, there will be mild reactions. More sick, more intense reactions.If you are constitutionally weak expect strong reactions. But do not give up. These reactions are an indication that you are on your way to recovery and health.
